FULTONDALE, Alabama - The Alabama Department of Transportation
will begin conducting traffic counts at Exit 267 off Interstate 65 this fall. The data is
required to determine if the city of Fultondale is allowed to install traffic
lights near the exit on north and southbound Walker Chapel Road.

The city has previously requested permission to install traffic signals, but
requests were denied.

"We're going to try to make another run of it," Lowery said in
January. "It's their property and they have to give us
authorization." Lowery told the City Council Monday that the traffic study
will take place sometime in the fall.

If the numbers are high enough and the traffic lights approved, the city of
Fultondale will pay for the installation of the signals.

In other business, the council passed a resolution to designate Regions Bank
as the depository for the funds received from the 2013-A Warrant and have the account
named the City of Fultondale 2013 Project Fund.
